Abstract
A 40-year-old woman at 35 weeks of gestation presented with abdominal pain and hypertriglyceridemia of above 5000 mg/dL. Following lab tests and imaging studies, she was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia-related acute pancreatitis in pregnancy. She was managed with NPO, IV insulin, and peripheral parenteral nutrition, but her condition further complicated with preeclampsia, and she was induced and delivered at 36 weeks of gestation. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous variant in the CREB3L3 gene predisposing to severe hypertriglyceridemia. Postpartum lifestyle modifications, including a low-fat diet and routine exercise, significantly improved her lipid profile.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
